Baku has opposed politicization of Lapshin’s case.

Attempts to politicize or give a political coloring to the criminal case filed by Azerbaijan against Alexander Lapshin, who is a citizen of several countries, and his extradition to Azerbaijan are wrong, the Azerbaijani Foreign Ministry said in a statement on Wednesday.

This issue is purely legal in nature and must be considered from the point of view of law, said the statement.
